Unload/Remove javascript functions from ASP.NET MVC partial view

Question

In a partial view I load a javascript file like this :

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/Testing.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

In the Testing.js, there are some functons defined That's work, the functions defined in the file can be used.

Now I do an action in my application, my controller return an another (where I don't load any js file) partial view. The functions defined in Testing.js are still available in this partial view.

Is there a way to "remove" the functions loaded in the first view ?

Thanks,

Update 1

I tried this in the partial view but error : The file "~/Views/xxxx.cshtml" cannot be requested directly because it calls the "RenderSection" method.

@section MyScript {
    <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/Testing.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
}
@RenderSection("MyScript", false)

You should avoid referencing any scripts in partials. You could define a section in your Layout, for example just before the closing </body> which will allow for views to include some custom scripts:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/scripts/some_common_script_that_will_be_used_by_all_views_such_as_jquery_for_example")"></script>
    @RenderSection("scripts", false)
</body>
</html>

and then in the view (not in the partial view) override this section to include any scripts that this view might need:

@section scripts {
    <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/Testing.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
}
